Your Saddest Song?
« on: July 26, 2010, 06:18:52 PM »
So after listening to "Heart Attack in a Layby" for the first time, I've come to realise how much I love sad, hard hitting songs, and I'm looking for some more. :laugh:

Any suggestions?

Godspeed You Black Emperor - Sleep

There's just something about it, the monologue at the beginning to set the mood, the rest of the song just crashing down, it's something special.

inb4 this thread is overwhelmed with Steven Wilson.



But seriously, here are a few of my favorites:
PT - Feel so Low
PT - A Smart Kid
Fleetwood Mac - Storms
Elton John - Tonight
Elton John - One More Arrow

All of those have made me tear up or more.

I've listened to all the PT albums now apart from "Up The Downstar" and "On The Sunday Of Life", and while alot of it is definetley sad, HHIAL is the only song to really "hit" me so to speak.

But I'm definetley getting into PT now :laugh: :metal

I don't really have many songs that make me cry because of sadness, but these all can make me cry from happiness:

Brian Eno- Silver Morning, Deep Blue Day
Aphex Twin- Xtal, Rhubarb
Incubus- Echo
Sigur Ros- Hoppipolla


Actually nevermind, the one that can really tear me up with sadness
Nick Drake- Which Will

Army Of Anyone - This Wasn't Supposed To Happen
Dave Matthews Band - Grace Is Gone
Dredg - Planting Seeds
Dredg - The Canyon Behind Her (doesn't sound too sad but the last verse with the musical climax really makes me feel the loneliness)
Elton John - Your Song (Not really sad, but it's tied to me with a sad memory)
Kaki King - Joi (truly the saddest song in my entire collection)
Mogwai - Cody
Mogwai - Tracy
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Porcupine Tree - Fadeaway


A lot more but I got too lazy to post, if checking out any song then check out Joi by Kaki King. I couldn't believe an acoustic instrumental track could make me feel so sad.

I could also fill this list with a bunch of Steve Wilson work, but a lot of it comes off cheesy.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

I honestly can't think of a better sad song.
Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

"Feel So Low" is probably the saddest song I have.  Chroma Key can be pretty sad too, so are these songs...

"Somewhere Else"-Marillion
"Street Spirit (Fade Out)"-Radiohead
"Disappear"-Dream Theater
"Atlantic City"-Bruce Springsteen

'Long Long Time' - Linda Ronstadt; unrequited love has never been so touching.

'Don't Follow' - Alice in Chains; I found this song right as I was leaving my hometown to start a new chapter in my life. It was a very difficult transitional time for me.

I knew I was forgetting something.  "Torch Song" would make it on there too.

I could name many, many songs. Space-Dye Vest would be one, Illgresi by Sigur Ros would be another and so on.


But the one song that always puts me under a cloud is Landlocked Blues by Bright Eyes.
